Synopsis
A professor (Noémie Merlant) reads aloud to her class some of the most salient excerpts of violence against women from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. As the ancient verses echo through the classroom, the students begin to realize the cruelty hidden behind the poetry: the myths reveal themselves to be an unsettling mirror of a reality that remains all too current

Tender Age, by Julien Gaspar-Oliveri
Sixteen-year-old Diane exists exclusively through her mother's gaze. But this intensely close bond between Diane and her mother, Sophie, is becoming increasingly problematic for the teenager. At high school, she would like to be loved like she is at home and expresses it in an awkward way like when she exchanges a favor for a look, in the toilets. A loudmouth, provocative, and seeking attention, Diane tries to stand apart from her mother and wishes, during a weekend, to live like an adult.
